Yeah - it seems Bil ships in batches after production runs, and the cycle has been apparent for years now...so, if you order at the end of the cycle, the shocks are there the next day kind of thing...if you order after the cycle ended, and have to wait for te next batch, weeks are not unusual.

I do wish SLR would stay in touch like Shrock on that sort of delay...but the stuff comes when its ready at least.
